Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:26

For ye are all the children of God ... - All who bear the Christian name - the converts from among the Jews and Gentiles alike; see the note at John 1:12. The idea here is, that they are no longer under tutors and governors; they are no longer subject to the direction and will of the “paedagogus”; they are arrived at age, and are admitted to the privileges of sons; see the note at Galatians 4:1. The language here is derived from the fact, that until the son arrived at age, he was in many... read more

Galatians 3:24-26. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster That is, the instructer of the childhood of us Jews, or of the church of God, in its state of minority; see on Galatians 4:3; to bring us unto Christ To train us up for him. And this it did, both by its precepts, which showed us the need we had of his atonement, and by its sacrifices, oblations, purifications, and other ceremonies, which all pointed us to him; that we might be justified by faith In him, and so might obtain the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:23-29

The law’s purpose illustrated (3:23-4:7)Jews under the law were like children under the control of a guardian, but this was only in anticipation of the coming of Christ. When he came, those who trusted in him were forgiven the sins they had committed against the law and were put right with God. Instead of being like children under a guardian, they now enjoyed the freedom of full-grown mature sons of God (23-26). Since the coming of Christ, all believers are united in him and are God’s children,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Galatians 3:26

For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.Note that we have omitted the commas (RSV) which serve no purpose and even hinder the meaning. It has already been noted that Paul in this section is using "faith" in the sense of historical Christianity, the same usage being continued here. Macknight translated this verse correctly thus: "For ye are all sons of God through the faith published by Christ Jesus."[28] That this meaning is mandatory is clear enough from the whole context. As... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:26

Galatians 3:26. For ye are all the children of God, &c.— As a further argument to dissuade them from circumcision, St. Paul tells the Galatians, that, by faith, that is, living faith, in Christ, all, whether Jews or Gentiles, are made the children of God; and so they stood in no need of circumcision. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 3:15-29

3. The logical argument 3:15-29Paul continued his argument that God justifies Christians by faith alone by showing the logical fallacy of relying on the Law. He did this to answer the legalists and to clarify the distinction between works and faith as ways of salvation (i.e., justification, sanctification, and glorification). He continued to base his argument on the biblical revelation of Abraham. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Galatians 3:23-27

Paul pictured Israel before the advent of Christ as a child. The coming of faith (Galatians 3:23) is synonymous with the coming of Christ in Paul’s view of salvation history.In Paul’s day it was common for children between age six and puberty to be under the care of a pedagogue (tutor). The pedagogue protected them from evil influences and demanded their obedience."No doubt there were many pedagogues who were known for their kindness and held in affection by their wards, but the dominant image... read more

The conditions of people under Law and faith 3:23-29"Continuing the perspective of salvation history introduced in Galatians 3:13 f. and developed in Galatians 3:15-22, Paul gives further consideration to the place of the law in the divine economy by showing the relation between law and faith as two distinct dispensations."
